The scare is there, but it is fear of a fiction. This has everything to do with propagandists in right wing media and nothing to do with reality.

As the MIL of a card carrying communist, I can promise there is nothing to fear. This is all made up fear mongering.

The communist have an office somewhere in Manhattan. Go knock on the door. You will be amazed. Just a bunch of old hippies living their dream.

A "Red Scare" is the fear in the U.S. of the rise of communism here.

We've already had 2 in our past, & a 3rd Red Scare is now rising. Even our Federal Gov't shares this fear.
.

Our Federal Government started this "fear" Jan 20, 2021. There was no "fear" before that.

It's Biden doing this.....proxy war with Russia and taunting China with war-games off Taiwan and trade sanctions over both of them.

And you think this is a right wing thing ????

I think the real issue is that the Chinese want to be capitalists.

China is already pretty deep into capitalism.

Selective mercantilism seems more accurate.

The CCP will cultivate those lost souls...much like ISIS has done & still does.

I'm glad our federal gov't is finally opening up their eyes to the CCP threat...that was long overdue.

My wife agrees with you. She is always dissing female Libs who buy into the commie crap. She even has some that are friends from elementary school she stays in touch with. They don't talk politics ever.

My wife hates Lib women, but not Democrat women, or Indy's...just the hard left...like me.
